3 Peaks Challenge · 9 June 2018
Hello! I'm taking part in the 3 Peaks challenge to raise money for a 'Gympanzees' Pop Up event that will provide activities and play for thousands of disabled children and their families.
The 3 Peaks is tough. We will be walking the 3 highest Peaks of Scotland (Ben Nevis), England (Scafell Pike) and Wales (Snowdonia) - all in 24 hours. This is a total of 23 miles, with a total ascent of 3064m, and we will need to walk this in 13 hours to be able to make the 24 hour timeline!
Gympanzees Pop Up will provide play, friendship and exercise for up to 3,500 children with disabilities over 4 weeks this summer and will, hopefully, prove our concept so we can go on to build a custom made fully inclusive activity centre which will cater for the play, exercise and friendship needs of the 58,000 disabled children, and their families, in the wider Bristol area.
At present 84% of children with disabilities can't access regular leisure and their health and well being suffer. 72% of parents experience mental health difficulties due to isolation. We are determined to do something about this. Read the Gympanzees story for more details and help us raise the money to make it happen!
